Elac B5 and B6??? Just another flash in the pan speaker?? or worth it
Has anyone bought or now own either the Elac B5 or B6 bookshelf speaker designed by Andrew Jones. I ask because I recall when the Wharfdale 10.1 speaker can on the market, there was a lot of good reviews and testimonials, The same occurred with arrival of Music Hall's "Marimba" speaker" and to a certain degree the Dali Sensor 3.
At the time, I was looking for a speaker to just play around with and compare to other speakers I familiar with their sound. However, I owned the firs two models , and though they were decent sounding speaker, they were not anything special or so called "keepers" I sold both at a lost. My Bad!! BTW, I did not expect a pair of Magico or Wilson's Duettes to emerge from these boxes
However, I think it unconscionable of reviewers to hype up a product to a level of it being able to take on the "big boys" ,or ".....speakers costing 10X as much...". Or in, the case of Elac bookshelf speakers to cite the designer as some type of genius who whipped up these babies in his spare time!!!
Therefore, I would like some feedback as to either how good to outstanding the Elac speakers are, or whether they are just another passing sky banner of springtime hype. Thanks
